Firefighters help put out fires and rescue people from dangerous places. They also help in emergencies like car crashes or floods to keep everyone safe. Firefighters wear special gear to protect themselves from heat and smoke. When they’re not fighting fires, they check equipment, train, and teach people how to stay safe.
Police Officers help keep people safe by making sure everyone follows the laws. They help in emergencies, stop crimes, and find people who are lost or in trouble. Police officers also talk to people in the community to solve problems and keep neighborhoods peaceful.
Paramedics help people during emergencies when they are very sick or hurt. They ride in ambulances and give care right away, like helping someone breathe or stopping bleeding. Paramedics use special equipment and know how to keep people safe until they get to the hospital.
Counselors help people talk about their feelings and solve problems they’re facing. They listen carefully and give support when someone is sad, worried, or having a hard time. They work in places like schools, hospitals, or offices to help people feel better and reach their goals.
Youth Helpers are kids who make a difference by being kind and standing up for what's right. They help others by speaking out when something is unfair and by volunteering their time. With support from caring adults, youth helpers can do big things, like helping in their community, supporting a cause, or just being a good friend.
